Background Information

Overview
Starting Line is a fund for dreamers. Because we're dreamers ourselves. We speak your language. We live and breathe dreams. It's all we know. We believe that every entrepreneur deserves an investor who is as obsessed about their business as the builder themself. Starting Line invests in founders who are willing to take on substantial personal risks, out of fear of living a life of regret. That fear of wondering what life might have looked like if you'd just gone for it. We invest in founders who build backwards: beginning with their vision of what the world should look like with their product, and methodically working backwards to build each small step along the way.
